Covered
Covered is a family of curious looking objects made in food-friendly glass and cork. This set of objects show the correlation between negative space and functionality. By adding cuts, holes, slits and indents on simple shapes the designer creates new negative spaces. In turn the shapes become functional artifacts that perform various tasks for the kitchen and dining area. A tea pot, salt and pepper shaker, milk pitcher and salad dressing mixer are among Covered’s many abilities.

Fracture Ice Bag
I strive to make life more pleasurable through design, so I keep a running list of various repetitive, mundane or unenjoyable tasks we all have to do. Preparing and extracting ice from ice trays was always a messy and tedious chore and so I made it my mission to make this task fun!
It’s easy! Fill the bag with water then freeze it. Once frozen, hit the bag (or twist if you wish) and pour perfect ice cubes!

Grasp Shelf
Another annoyance of modern life is the accumulation of clutter. But clutter is made up of things we use all the time, so a closed drawer or closet is too much of a hassle. My goal was to find a way to store clutter in a way that was both beautiful and easy.
Standing on its own, the Grasp shelf was designed to look like a piece of sculpture. When objects are placed in it, the layers of foam stretches to accommodate most objects from keys to coats.

Sanholm Collection
Instead of starting from paper, I started with the fabrics. Going around different fabric stores in Stockholm I found sturdy yet soft canvases and durable leather. With very little sketching I started to sew pieces together.
I wanted the bags to feel easy and relaxed so I worked the same way. I kept the process simple and uncomplicated.

Super Suits
I designed Super Suits encourage self awareness, expression and empowerment in children of all ages. With button holes on the entire suit and an endless variety of attachments, children are able to portray themselves and each other however they please.
Younger children may need grown-up fingers to piece the suit together. This turns into a wonderful time for adults to interact with children– to ask them questions about what they like and don’t like, what’s important to them and how they see themselves.
For older, more independent children Super Suits encourages decision-making and peer interaction.

Then, we illustrated the LCA and using icons we told the story of the pros and cons of making a Bounty Paper Towel.
